The concept is explained in the context of a case study that used naturalistic methods to explore the information-seeking behaviour of 10 participants, aged 16 to 18, as they searched for, selected, and used information for a school-based inquiry project on a topic related t...

The goal of this paper is to measure similarity among the stories for categorizing movies. Although genres are well-performing as movies’ categories, users have difficulty for predicting substances of the movies through the genres. Therefore, we proposed the story-based taxonomy of the movies and a method for constructing it automatically. In order to reflect characteristics of the stories, we ...

In this paper, we explore complex network properties of word collocation networks (Ferret, 2002) from four different genres. Each document of a particular genre was converted into a network of words with word collocations as edges. We analyzed graphically and statistically how the global properties of these networks varied across different genres, and among different network types within the sa...

Part of speech taggers generally perform well on homogeneous data sets, but their performance often varies considerably across different genres. In this paper we investigate the adaptation of POS taggers to individual genres by creating POS tagging experts. We use topic modeling to determine genres automatically and then build a tagging expert for each genre. We use Latent Dirichlet Allocation ...

A digital library is a collection of services and information objects for storing, accessing, and retrieving digital objects. Automatic text summarization presents salient information in a condensed form suitable for user needs. This thesis amalgamates digital libraries and automatic text summarization by extending the Greenstone Digital Library software suite to include the University of Lethb...

We discuss bridge relations in Dutch between two textual referents across six di↵erent text genres. After briefly presenting the annotation guidelines and inter-annotation agreement results, we conduct an in-depth manual analysis of the di↵erent types of bridge relations found in our data sets. This analysis reveals that for all genres bridging references stand mostly in a class relationship, w...
